ground, and burn down to white coals. Remove kids from water and thread on
spits. Arrange over the hot coals, and roast for 2 to 3 hours, depending
on the kids' weight, basting occasionally with a little salted water. Turn
spits continuously so that the meat cooks evenly, or use a rotisserie. Add
more white coals if necessary.
